Purfresh Announces Study Results Demonstrating Effectiveness of Ozone to Enhance Food Safety During Transport of Fresh Produce
Purfresh Announces Study Results Demonstrating Effectiveness of Ozone to Enhance Food Safety During Transport of Fresh Produce
The National Food Lab in partnership with Purfresh shows ozone reduces E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella by as much as 99.999%
FREMONT, Calif.---Purfresh, a leading provider of clean technologies that purify, protect, and preserve the world’s food and water, today announced important results from recent third-party research which demonstrates ozone’s applicability and effectiveness as a tool to improve the safety of fresh food shipped globally. The results, from research commissioned by Purfresh and conducted by The National Food Lab, demonstrated that controlled supplementation of ozone, an active form of oxygen, into transportation container conditions was able to kill and control the spread of important foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella, by more than 99.997%, Listeria monocytogenes, by more than 99.999%, and E. coli O157:H7, by as much as 99.9%. These results were on both actual fruit and container surface coupons and poignantly represent the efficacy of using ozone during transport—which is often the longest segment of the food supply chain—to actively reduce food safety risks.
“Countless studies have proven ozone controls bacteria, molds, yeast, viruses, and ethylene. I believe this study was unique because it showed that ozone is also highly effective at killing harmful bacteria in conditions similar to those found in refrigerated shipping containers”
.“Countless studies have proven ozone controls bacteria, molds, yeast, viruses, and ethylene. I believe this study was unique because it showed that ozone is also highly effective at killing harmful bacteria in conditions similar to those found in refrigerated shipping containers,” said Dee M. Graham, Ph.D., president of R and D Enterprises.
An estimated 70 million tons of perishables were transported in refrigerated containers last year. During transport, with transit times ranging from 7 to 50 days, harmful microorganisms can multiply rapidly putting the food at great risk for contamination and spoilage. Purfresh uniquely addresses these risks with their ozone-based Purfresh® Transport solution, an active cargo protection system that has been scientifically engineered to use ozone—a natural, residue-free form of oxygen—to control ripening, reduce decay, and enhance the safety of fresh produce during transport, leading to safer, fresher food.
“Given the continued expansion of the global food market and the ever-increasing reports of food related illnesses, it is exciting and encouraging to see innovative companies like Purfresh applying sound science and commercially viable solutions to this important industry challenge,” said Paul A. Hall, Ph.D., president of AIV Microbiology and Food Safety Consultants, LLC. “And I believe they really hit a home run with their transport solution by providing a way to enhance food safety as well as maintain the quality and value of fresh produce being shipped around the world without the dependency of many harsh, traditional chemicals that are rapidly falling out of favor in the world’s markets.”
“At Purfresh we are focused on meeting the needs of the global food industry by providing innovative solutions that are science-based, easy to use, and integrate with existing processes and infrastructure,” said David Cope, president and CEO of Purfresh, Inc. “Unmatched by any other cargo protection system in the industry, our Purfresh Transport solution uniquely takes advantage of the clean, powerful properties of active forms of oxygen to help extend shelf life, minimize losses, maintain quality, and enhance the safety of fresh produce all the way to market.”
Available for use on new and existing refrigerated shipping containers, the patent-pending Purfresh Transport system simply “snaps” into a fan port to integrate with the container’s refrigeration system. Leveraging the existing air flow system, the Purfresh Transport technology delivers precise, low-dose levels of ozone throughout the container—treating the air and surfaces to reduce harmful microorganisms that may lead to both disease and decay. The system actively monitors and adjusts the required ozone levels throughout the voyage based on changes in the condition of the cargo or the atmosphere. Purfresh Transport is available through most major ocean carriers and is offered on as a per-trip service.
Committed to promoting food safety throughout the food supply chain, Purfresh also offers two additional ozone-based solutions—Purfresh Cold Storage for preserving the freshness and safety of produce during storage for warehouses and distribution centers, and Purfresh Wash, a produce disinfection wash system that helps packers and processors meet HACCP requirements while reducing chemical use.
Purfresh solutions are sold throughout the world by Purfresh and its network of certified resellers.
About Purfresh, Inc.
Purfresh offers a range of clean technology solutions that purify, protect, and preserve our food and water. Purfresh’s innovative crop applications, food wash systems, and cold chain technologies effectively safeguard fresh produce before and after harvest.

DB CLIMATE CHANGE ADVISORS PUBLISHES ANALYSIS OF 270 CLIMATE AND ENERGY POLICIES
DB CLIMATE CHANGE ADVISORS PUBLISHES ANALYSIS OF 270 CLIMATE AND ENERGY POLICIES
The “Climate Tracker” provides a Reference for Policies to be discussed at Upcoming Climate Change Talks in Copenhagen and Calls for Increased Government Action
NEW YORK, October 26, 2009 –Deutsche Bank’s Asset Management division (DeAM) today published research which provides investors with an analysis of climate change policies and assigns a risk rating to 109 countries, states and regions based on key government mandates and supporting policy frameworks.
The report, titled “Global Climate Change Policy Tracker: An Investor’s Assessment” (Climate Tracker), was produced by DB Climate Change Advisors (DBCCA), DeAM's institutional climate change investment and research business, working with the Columbia Climate Center at the Earth Institute, Columbia University. The “Climate Tracker” is the first publicly-available analysis of its kind. It incorporates results of a model prepared by Columbia Climate Center researchers that estimates the impacts on carbon emissions of each of 270 major climate policies, and aggregates them at country, regional and global levels.
The “Climate Tracker” provides a risk rating of countries and regions based on their relative attractiveness to investors. It is designed to help investors identify the best risk-adjusted returns in climate change investment opportunities around the world. The “Climate Tracker” is available online at: http://www.dbcca.com/research. Highlights of the research include the following:
Even if current and select proposed policies were to make their maximum possible impact, emissions in 2020 would still exceed the amount needed to limit the average world temperature increase to 2 degrees C. To meet such a goal, emissions would need to be reduced further, by an amount equivalent to the current annual emissions of the U.S. economy.
More capital is required to mobilize climate change industries, and more action by government is required to attract capital. Investors are most attracted to countries and regions with comprehensive, integrated government plans that are supported by strong incentives, such as feed-in tariffs.
Governments must create transparent, long-term, and certain policies to attract capital. While the carbon markets may offer long term solutions, at present investors are driven by on-the-ground mandates and incentives.
Energy efficiency could help deliver significant reductions in emissions. Since efficiency provides savings in the long-term, it is essential that governments tackle market failures to encourage capital deployment in this area."What investors want is Transparency, Longevity and Certainty – “TLC” – in policy regimes to mobilize capital," said Kevin Parker, Global Head of DeAM and member of Deutsche Bank’s Group Executive Committee. “Many major emitters such as the US and the UK do not have enough “TLC” in their policy frameworks. Our rankings show that China has a lower risk for climate change investors, as does Germany, but the research also shows that in order to avoid catastrophic climate change, all countries will have to do more to encourage investment.”"Carbon markets may provide policy support to investors in the long term.
However, for the foreseeable future, investors will be focused on mandates and incentives,” said Mark Fulton, Global Head of Climate Change Investment Research at DeAM. “We believe that appropriately-designed and budgeted feed-in tariffs have demonstrated their ability to deliver scale.” For further information, please call:Renee Calabro +1-212-250-5525Media RelationsAbout Deutsche BankDeutsche Bank is a leading global investment bank with a strong and profitable private clients franchise.

China unleashes Clean Revolution
China unleashes Clean Revolution
China seizes low carbon export opportunities in clean tech race
Friday 1 August 2008 - LONDON – China is already the world’s leading renewable energy producer*and is over-taking more developed economies in exploiting valuable economic opportunities,creating green-collar jobs and leading development of critical low carbon technologies, says a newreport to be published by The Climate Group.
The report – China’s Clean Revolution - shows that China’s transition to a low carbon economy iswell underway, led by supportive government policies which are not only driving innovation in lowcarbon technologies but also diverting billions of dollars of investment into energy efficiency andrenewable energy.
The report reveals that the low carbon economy is just as attractive to developing nations likeChina, as it is for richer countries such as the UK, Japan and Germany.
China’s combination of cost advantages, a clear policy framework, a dynamic and entrepreneurialbusiness environment and abundant abatement opportunities, is proving that developing nationshave as much, if not more, to gain from investment in low carbon solutions creating green-collarjobs, social benefits and economic growth.
Despite its coal-dependent economy, the report reveals Chinese government and businesses haveembarked on a Clean Revolution that has already made it a world leader in the manufacture of solarphoto-voltaic technology (Solar PV) where its six biggest solar companies have a combined marketvalue of over USD $15 billion. Over the next 12 months, China is also set to become the world’sleading exporter of wind turbines and is competing aggressively in other low carbon marketsincluding solar water heaters, energy efficient home appliances, and rechargeable batteries.Steve Howard, CEO of The Climate Group says: “For too long, many governments, businesses andindividuals have been wary of committing to action on climate change because they perceive thatChina – the world’s largest emitter – is doing little to address the issue.
However, the reality is thatChina’s government is beginning to unleash a low carbon dragon which will power its future growth,development and energy security objectives.”
Changhua Wu, China Director, The Climate Group, says: “Far from ignoring climate change,Chinese leaders have already committed to improving energy efficiency and scaling up the growthof low carbon industries. China is beginning to pull its weight on climate change and the targetsand policies in place are in line with those being taken by ‘leading’ countries like the UK andGermany.”
Investment in renewable energy in China - almost USD $12 billion in 2007 - is almost level withworld leader Germany as a percentage of GDP. Stronger policies from the Chinese government arecreating increased demand for low carbon investment and China will require a further USD $398billion (USD $33bn per year) to meet its 2020 renewable energy goals.Steve Howard says: “China’s current trajectory will ensure it remains a strategic global hub for lowcarbon investment, innovation and growth over coming decades.”*In terms of installed renewable capacity, China leads the world, reaching 152 Gigawatts in 2007.

Stronger policies from the Chinese government arecreating increased demand for low carbon investment and China will require a further USD $398billion (USD $33bn per year) to meet its 2020 renewable energy goals.Steve Howard says: “China’s current trajectory will ensure it remains a strategic global hub for lowcarbon investment, innovation and growth over coming decades.”*In terms of installed renewable capacity, China leads the world, reaching 152 Gigawatts in 2007.
